Default Any Ideas?

Heres my truck, any ideas on how to make it look more badass? I saw a Silverado a while ago that had running boards, window louvers, and a visor on it and it looked really long and sleek. I wanna kinda go towards that look. I have some running boards off of a chevy suburban that I want to put on it (sacrilege, I know). Also, I wanna put a sun visor on it eventually. Also, Im on a college student budget.

Paint the grill curround to match the truck, take off the chrome fender trim (causes rust), get some wheels/tires (they really change the look of this body style of truck)

Offroad90, I cant stop laughing because I was just doing research on grille inserts too. I was thinking that if I was to paint my grille surround to match the paint and if I was to buy these inserts: http://www.carpartswholesale.com/v5/...Listing+Page:6
How do you thin it would look?

Personally I don't like the louvers or the visor. Running boards are okay. The biggest thing that will change the look of the truck are some meaty tires and rims. I understand the not having a lot of money, but instead of spending your money hear and there on small things, save it up for some bigger more appearance changing mods. Wont be dissapointed.

i like sunvisors and cab fairings on jacked up 4x4s cause it makes me think of a real life tonka toy or R/C truck. window louvers have never done much for me. im all for the saving for big things down the, but even i played snall a bit first with my truck to get my appetite going for more mods.
